lol. I try to put myself in their position, mega stars like Dolly Parton, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. obviously, their endorsements are very significant, but I wonder, especially in the last 10 years, if fear of even more death threats, rather than fear of losing fans, is what causes them to be silent.

Taylor rather famously has had media kerfuffles with Trump already, and like you said she did endorse Biden and Harris in 2020. I wonder if her still being on tour impacts her decision at all, or if the recent terror threat in Vienna is a factor too.

I take Beyoncé’s permission to use her song as an endorsement. lol. but many of us fantasize about Beyoncé and Taylor making an appearance via video feed at least. Women united. It would be game over, imo.
